Plain orphan Jane Eyre is not expected to amount to much. A pleasant
existence as a governess is all she is supposed to hope for - but Jane
desperately wants more. And an appointment at the gothic mansion of
Thornfield offers her more than she could ever dream of - including a
chance at real love. But when tragedy strikes, she will have to use all
her bravery, spirit and resolve to overcome her supposed fate, and forge
her own destiny.
This classic novel challenges conventions of desire, family, class and
just how much of our identity we are willing to give up for those we
love.
